Re: Using GlidePoint pad with TP755



I've got a 755CDV and Win95...

I've used three different types of trackpads with the system (ALPS
GlidePoint, Cirque GlidePoint and the Touche' pad and they all work fine
(tapping to select, etc.)  I like the Touche' the best.  

I've never loaded a driver or even  opened the Mouse control panel except to
change the tracking speed...

I can use both the TPIII and the trackpad at the same time...

I guess this plug-n-pray stuff really works ;]
